Video Games

Arcade Games which used to play in late 70s and 80s in video arcades.
Was one across street from Winn Dixie just north of 826, forget name.
Westland Mall had Fun-O-Rama. Sometimes rode bikes to North Miami to play at Cloverleaf Golf Arcade.

Trump?

Good explanation of failed choice of Clinton. Sanders or Jerry Brown for President in 2020?

Excellent part of the article:

“Capitalism was so cruel and brutal 100 years ago that people came up with an even worse solution, communism. Rather than make compromises that would take the wind out of communism’s sales, the 1 percent of the day decided to back fascism. This caused a war so catastrophic that the 1 percent understood they had no choice but to accept reforms that would make life bearable for regular people.
“Then communism collapsed, taking the daily threat of nuclear war with it. Today’s 1 percent should be thanking God they got out of the 20th century alive and vowing never to make those mistakes again. Instead they’ve decided to make every mistake again, and turn capitalism back into something that human beings cannot live with. Here’s our plan to stop them.”
